SEATTLE STORM
status_completetype_sport facilityrole_sd-cdContext: *At the intersection of business, sports, and social change lies The Seattle Storm: four-time WNBA Championship winners and elite basketball franchise dedicated to creating space for women to become fully themselves. The ownership group sought to change that – and change the narrative about women’s sports – in 2021 by funding a new, state-of-the-art professional basketball performance center.
Design: *A streamlined program that eliminates corridors, this facility delivers on form and function. Adjacencies in the building are focused on player flow and getting people where they need to be efficiently. The elimination of all corridors resulted in larger program spaces overall to better support the players. These larger footprints for program areas provide multiple benefits, from greater visibility for coaches and trainers to improved safety and a better sense of connectedness and focus amongst the team.
Responsibilities: Programming document, test fits, conceptual diagrams, sketches, presentation packages, digital modeling, massing, rendering, exploded axons, circulation diagrams, sd/dd/cd documentation set, consultant coordination, owner meetings.
